And go where? I don't think Rit Labs can be accused of ignoring bugs. I can remember some years ago when The Bat's imap was quite buggy. Much better now. Thanks for that Rit. Sometimes reported bugs remain because the developers can't reproduce them. Sometimes a perceived bug is really a design choice. I don't think it is fair to compare the necessary choices of a less profitable business with a hugely profitable one. It seems to me that Rit Labs is an economic marvel. They have produced the best product on the market and remain viable in a niche that many others have found bankrupting. > -- Ira -- Gleason ________________________________________________________ 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
